There is a group theme project in this unit. Students will become knights on a quest to bring their Liege information about the Arthurian Legend.

There are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading, or expressing personal opinions. In Writing Assignment One students will write an informative essay about their quest project assignments. Writing Assignment Two asks students to give a personal response to one of two quotes from the story. In Writing Assignment Three students pretend to be the prosecuting attorney for Killer Kane's attempted murder trial, and they write their closing arguments to the jury.
